"It’s a perverse thing, but it is so much fun to do a role like this. You get giddy. You can’t sleep at night. You’re so excited about what you’ve done. It’s crazy, I know, because it’s so grizzly. And I love to watch it. I watch it and chills go up and down my spine."—John Lithgow on playing a brutal serial killer [The Daily Beast]
